1/3 of My Saturday

I reached school for strings at around 8.10am. Jie Ying seemed quite annoyed. We went up to the music room via the staffroom as the shutters were locked. Started tuning everyone up as soon as possible. We take about 20 mins to tune everyone properly (individually). Maybe that's an area to work on.

The seniors didn't come so I was looking forward to the break. During the break, I played legende and Czardas with Jie Ying. Yay, she managed to polish up the double stops part. I was so happy and couldn't believe my ears. This was the first time we were actually playing together at the blahblahblah part. I ended up laughing because I was too happy. But the laughing resulted in me going terribly out of tune, which seemed to amuse Jie Ying a lot. As the laughing disorder connoiseur, I started laughing at her laughing disorder which was starting to kick in. In the end, we both ended up laughing.

Pearlyn and Jie Ying think I have a poking disorder. But I think Jie Ying has a violence disorder. She poked (stabbed) me about 8-9 times. I wish I was wearing the fencing armour.

Tutti lasted 4 hours, which is a quadruple overdose of violin practice for me (if this is what is meant by over-practicing...) . I reached home at 1.45pm. Ate spaghetti for lunch. My mom cooked the sauce/toppings while my dad did the cooking of noodles. I think I inherited his cooking genes (if the both of us even have any of that type). He turned on the stove for a while, then shut it off, picked up a string of noodle and then tasted/ate it. Then, turned on the stove again and repeated the above steps at least 5 times. For this cooking method to work, one should add in slightly more than what was originally intended.

Then, I went online and met jie ying. She went off for violin lesson. I'm going out soon too. 6 more days to doom. Part of me wants to get it quickly done and over with, the other is hesitant.
